Medical Voices vs Disabled Voices
I was diagnosed in a hospital room. The language was clinical. Precise. Measured. Words like lesions, inflammation, progression, relapse. The explanation focused on my nervous system, on my brain and spinal cord, on what could be seen on a scan.

A Voice
I did not set out to be an advocate. Speaking about multiple sclerosis began as survival. Writing was a way to untangle the confusion, the grief, and the constant recalculation that had become my daily life. Putting words to fatigue, to fear, to invisibility helped me make sense of a body that no longer behaved the way it once had.

Are You Living Off The Kindness Of the Dead?
Listening to Gennie arguing with Yendie, her supervisor. “We are best friends, and they just fired me, and you did nothing to prevent it. You didn’t try to defend me either. What kind of friend are you?” Gennie cursed at Yendie as she sat beside her in the cafeteria at their job.

The Power of Denial. Content Warning.
Sometimes, it’s hard to accept the truth. It can be right in our face, but we are in denial. Peter once denied Jesus. We know when something isn’t good for us. Sometimes that “something” that isn’t good for us can turn into a habit. We know that smoking is not good for breathing; we smoke anyway. Drinking affects the liver and other organs; we drink anyway. Those are the 2 worse habits in the world, and they both are two leading causes of death in the world. But we are in denial about that because it’s a good feeling.
